HC Deb 23 October 1946 vol 427 c364W
66. Mr. Keenan

asked the Minister of Food if he will reconsider the refusal to grant a licence for sweets and groceries to J. W. Gillin, 19A, Everton Valley, Liverpool 4, as this shopkeeper is an ex-Serviceman and reopened the shop, which, before the bombing of 1941, was an old-established business and the residents in this area want the use of the shop for their needs and resent the refusal of the Liverpool Food Committee to give a licence to J. W. Gillin.

Mr. Strachey

It is open to any applicant who has been refused a retail licence, to renew his application_at any time; it is then considered again in the light of changed conditions, if any, and of any new facts that the applicant may be able to present. If, therefore, my hon. Friend's constituent renews his application to the Food Control Committee, it will receive careful consideration.
